Letters Patent No. 85,986, dated January 19, 1869 The Schedule referredto in those Letters Patent @nd making pas: of the same.

To all whom it may concern.:

Beit known that I, SAMUEL J. ANDERSON, of Cazenovia, Madison county, NewYork, have invented n. new and useful Improven'ient in Stove-PipeShelves; und I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in thenrt to make und use the sumo, reference being' hud to theuccompzniyini:r drawings, t'onning part of this specification, in,which- Figure 1 lis a top view of my improved device cxtended.

Figure 2 is a side view of the sinne.

Figure 3 is the sume view as fig. 2, but showing t-hc shelves turneddown.

Figure 4 is u detail sectionulview of the. same, taken through the line:c x, fig. 1. y

Similar letters of reference indicante corresponding:r parte.

My invention hns for its object to finnish n simple, convenient,adjustable, and detachable device for attachment to stove-pipes, for thereception of dishes or other things that muy be desired to be keptwin-n1; and

lt consists in the construct-ion and combination of the vsn-ions portsof the device. as hereinafter more fully described.

A represents a portion of an ordinary suive-pipe.

B is a i'raune or support, made somewhat in the shape oi' a horse-shoe,as shown in tig. 1.

C is a. yoke, the forward or inner edge ot' which is comv caved, esshown in fig. 1, and upon the cnds of which are formed tenons ortongues, which enter grooves in the inner sides ot' the zl-rnis oftheframe B, as shown in fig. 4.

D is n bar, placed in the rear, or nt the outer edge of the v volte C,und which hns tongues or tenons formed upon its ends, which enter thegrooves in tho frame B. Both the inner and outer lends ot' the groovesin the :mns of the frame B nrc cios-cd, the tenons oi'thc said bars Cand D being let into thcir places through a notch in the seid arms ofthe seid frzunc B.

E is a set-screw, which passes through the baul D, and the end of whichpresses against the rea-r edge of the bar C, so as to clump thestove-pipe A between the bur C and the irnme B.

The frame B muy be adopted to smaller pipes by varying the forni of theyoke C, so that its :mns muy extend across the pipe A, along the innersides of the arms of the frame B.

F is :L frame, or shelf, which rests upon the frame or support B, andthe :u'insf of which are bevclled upon one side, to enter grooves in thesides of the fiunges b, formed upon the upper side ofthe arms oftheframe B.

Upon the under side ot' thc :i1-msj" of the frzune F are formed stopsf", in such positions that when the sheltl F is drown out, the snidstops muy strike-against the pivots b2, formed upon t-ho edge of' theframe or support B, und stop the shelf before t-he urnis f have beenwholly withdrawn from the flanges b'.

Upon the under side of thc :ums f', just in front' ot' the stops f3, areformed hooksf, which, when the stopsf" have been lif'tcd over the pivotsb, catch upon thc said pivots, :nid enable t-hc suid shclf to be tprneddown into the posit-lon shown in fig. 3 when not. required for use.

(i is n shelf, placed upon the opposite side of t-he pipe A from theshelf' F, which rests upon the frame or support B, und the ends of whichnre slotted, toreccive thc flanges b' oi' the support B, and the armsfof t-he shelf F.

Upon the under sido of thc arms of the shelf G are formedinwnrdly-projecting iiunges y, which pass under outwnlilly-priectiugfianges 113, formed upon the outer sides of the :u'ms ot' the support B.

Upon the under side of the urms ofthe shelf G are formed hooks g2, whichhook upon the pivots b ofthe support B, enabling the shelf G, when notrequired for use, to be turned down into the position shown in lig. 3.

This construction cnnbles one or both the shelves to be turned down ordetached, when desired. It also enables the wholo device to bo raised orlowered upon or removed from the stove-pipe, when desired.

Havingr thus described my invention,

What I claim ns new, und desire to secure by Letters lntcnt, is

The detachable pivoted shelves F und G, either or both, constructed,arranged, und operating iu combinzuion with t-hc support B O D E,substantially as herein shown und described, und for. the purpose setforth.
